2018 Chateau Calon Segur 3eme Cru Classe, Saint-Estephe

Sealed 6 Bottle Original Wood Case

Château Calon Ségur is a historic estate located in the northernmost reaches of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, famously owned in the 18th century by the Marquis de Ségur, who also held Lafite and Latour. The vineyard sits on a unique mixture of deep clay and gravel, and the wine is made from a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. In the glass, it displays deep dark fruit, tobacco, and graphite notes, supported by a structured, full-bodied texture and refined tannins. The warm, dry summer of 2018 provided the intensity and ripeness required for this bottling, while the estate's characteristic clay soils helped maintain the necessary freshness. This wine is built for the cellar and serves as a balanced, long-term investment for those looking to track its development over the next two decades.
